Here's a few things that you need.....
Bring staples for cooking. The kitchen is adequate but helpful to bring some basic ingredients. Olive oil, spices, frozen meats and specialty items. There's some good markets on the island but they are expensive. If you have any food allergies, you should bring what you need because availability of GF items is limited. Also if you plan on eating in and doing real cooking vs food prep, I'd bring a good chef's knife.
Bring your climbing legs. This place has stairs! Lots of them! We stayed in P10 and each trip from the pool/restaurant was 138 steps. It was worth it for the privacy but a little daunting with kids or folks that may not be in the best shape.
Bring a camera and a tripod. Its really windy on the island and a tripod will help stabilize your camera. We had amazing views in both units we stayed in. P10 was closer to the water with amazing coastal views. P3 was more inland towards the cove with killer sunsets.
Bring some noise cancelling headphones or earplugs. Being near the water is amazing but the wind and waves at night get loud. Also there are people close to you and the tents have screened windows. So if you're next to a hellcat you might want some peace.
We loved this as an option to have a warm Caribbean vacation and still feel like an adventure. The islands are amazing but sometimes the resorts can feel a bit crowed and enclosed. Eco Concordia and St John give you the best of both worlds. Eco Concordia has a pool, a bar and a great restaurant. So you feel like there is a resort feel. They make a super rum punch! Right from the parking lot there are challenging hikes with great scenery that lead to white sand beaches. 50% of the island is National Park so there are loads of hiking options. Of course there is snorkeling and beach bars and regular Caribbean stuff to do, but it has so much more to offer. You should go!
